More, More, More.... (& More!)
Hey, everybody (and especially r_lex!!), check this out....
Quite obviously based in (rather large) part on the old comic character Plastic Man, this is a series from The Philippines called "Lastikman"!!! Looks pretty cool, actually:

I haven't seen more than a couple of clips myself so far, but that's because it's only one among many, many intriguing things that I've been uncovering lately....! It's arguable whether this is really the most productive use of my time, considering that I already have a huge backlog of other awesome stuff to watch piling up faster than I know what to do with -- but when coolness of this magnitude beckons, how can I not heed the call?!!
Anyway, I've finally done it, and taken a bit of time off from work - even though it's only this week - so I'll have a bit of time to check out some more of these shows -- including my planned "Kamen Rider Fest", featuring episodes of all of the old-school Riders (quite possibly in chronological order!) from the original up to Kamen Rider Black RX....!! {I'm particularly curious to check out Kamen Rider Amazon, who grew up in the jungle and apparently has a tendency to bite his enemies while attacking them!!!} I just had a mini "Ultraman Fest" earlier, including episode one of the brand-new "UltraSeven X" which was quite stylish and high-tech (and also seems to signal a return to a darker, more serious flavour, as we had with "Ultraman Nexus".... which, um, I still haven't finished yet!)
On top of everything else, the new Fall anime season has just started in Japan as well!! It looks pretty good, too....! Check it out for yourself, right here:

Most of this I'm going to hold off on for now, I think! I'm still watching the Spring season shows (and some older ones, as well!), and I haven't even checked out any of the Summer anime yet.... {Well, the main one I was interested in was "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai"; but, as I mentioned before, I still have the whole first series of that one to get through first -- so, it could be a while!! And, the fansubber for the other few I was considering has been seriously lagging behind on them!} However, out of these new shows, I definitely want to check out the live drama version of "Mahou Sensei Negima!".... even though most of the one-track-mind hardcore anime-geeks are convinced that it has to be a horrific travesty!!! (They were saying the same thing about the live-action Sailor Moon though, and that was AWESOME!! So, we'll see!) If I do check any more out, then the leading contenders for me would be "Dragonaut ~The Resonance~" (if only for the voice cast!) and "Shinreigari/ Ghost Hound", at this point.... Gah! Too many cool things!!
